DENTISTRY 3 Flashcards
peridontal disease is the most common infectious disease of adult dogs. it affects what % of adult dogs n cats?
80%
What is gingivitis?
what is peridontitis?
-are they reversible?
peridontitis is graded on a scale of 0-4. describe 0
all good
peridontitis is graded on a scale of 0-4. describe 1
-inflammation of
gingiva only
without attachment
loss
-likely also plaque
peridontitis is graded on a scale of 0-4. describe 2
-less than 25% attachment loss [relative to root length]
peridontitis is graded on a scale of 0-4. describe 3
-25-50% attachment loss [relative to root length]
peridontitis is graded on a scale of 0-4. describe 4
-more than 50% attachment loss
what is the difference in plaque and calculus?
Plaque is biofilm, removable with a tooth
brush.
Calculus is mineralised plaque
describe the steps to pocket formation around tooth root
-plaque/calculus
-gingivitis
-sulcus deepens/anaerobes thrive
-breaks down attachment structures
what are some potential complications from untreated peridontal disease?
Pain and inflammation- Impact on patient welfare
* Systemic effects and Osteomyelitis of surrounding bone
* Tooth Loss
* Endodontic disease- infection tracking through apex into
pulp chamber
* Pathological jaw fracture.
* Haemorrhage- severe PD causing degradation of
adjacent blood vessels or artery (Rare occurance)
what are 4 factors to assess peridontal health?
-tooth mobility (0-3)
-peridontal pocket (measure mm depth)
-gingival recession/hyperplasia
-furcation exposure (1-3)
whats the difference btwn abrasion and attrition?
abrasion: tooth to object wear
attrition: tooth to tooth wear
what type of tooth fracture is this?
enamel infraction
what type of tooth fracture is this?
enamel fracture
what type of tooth fracture is this?
uncomplicated crown fracture
what type of tooth fracture is this?
complicated crown fracture
what type of tooth fracture is this?
complicated crown-root fracture
what type of tooth fracture is this?
root fracture
whats up with thsi tooth?
non vital tooth: due to blunt trauma
-irreversible damage ot the pulp that then bleeds into dentine walls
dental caries is rare in canines
-can often be due to high ______ diet
-which teeth are most commonly affeted?
-high carbohydrate diet
-molar teeth
on canine ulcerative stomatitis…
-what are some early signs?
-tx/managment?
-gingivitis, mucosal inflammation, oral pain, bad smell, rapid progression
-management: pain, frequent dental cleanings/extraction, oral hygiene
on feline chronic gingival stomatitis…
-signs?
-tx/managemnt?
-persistent gingivitis –> severe inflammation
-management: analgesia, oral hygiene, often full mouth extractions
on feline juvenile stomatitis…
-how is this different?
-can sometimes resolve
-can rapidly progress to periodontitis as bone is weaker
